I am very happy Because I have conquered myself And not the world. I am very happy Because I have loved the world And not myself.
Instead of telling the world What it is supposed to do, Why don't you immediately do it yourself? In this way, I assure you, Your happiness will be surprisingly multiplied.
Gratitude is pure happiness. Happiness is sure perfection.
My Lord does not want to know what I have done for Him. He just wants to know how I am. If he hears from me that I am happy, then he himself becomes exceedingly happy. In umistakable terms He tells me that my happiness is His real and only Satisfaction.
True happiness Is not a mental hallucination. True happiness Is not a complacent feeling. True happiness Is the spontaneous feeling of joy That comes from knowing 132 You are doing the right thing 133 And leading a divine life.
The way to become happy Is to think And to feel That the very best is yet to come.
O kindle the fire of happiness ! Therein I shall see The door of friendliness, The room of greatness And the palace of godness. I shall see, I shall see.
Of all the gifts You have offered to God, Your happiness-gift He treasures most.
Enthusiasm Rules his inner world. Determination Rules his outer world. Therefore Happiness has become His real name.
Every day there is only one thing to learn: how to be honestly happy.
Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.
The very nature of kindnessIs to spread.If you are kind to others,Today they will be kind to you,And tomorrow to somebody else.
The aspiring soul which he embodies is the lover in him. And the transcendental Self which he reveals from within is his Beloved.
Let us not worryAbout the future.Let us only do the right thingToday,At this moment,Here and now.Let the future take care of itself.
